What do NASA and 10th Magnitude Have in Common? More Than You Think…

At 10th Magnitude, we pride ourselves on innovation, on disruption, and going farther faster than ever. If you’re familiar with National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, you probably know that they share a similar vision.

We’re delighted to announce that Ira Bell, 10th Magnitude’s CTO, is slated to attend a two-day event sponsored by NASA, culminating in the launch of the 16th SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft on a Falcon 9 rocket.

Since childhood, Bell has been fascinated with NASA. His great-great-grandfather’s historic orange farm on Merritt Island, located in Brevard County, Florida, is just a few miles from the secure area of Kennedy Space Center.

Bell’s ancestral home was once a functioning orange farm, but is now a historic home and museum on the Pine Island Conservation Area and is well known for being the oldest standing home in Brevard county dating back to 1875. Bell’s family has been captivated in the Kennedy Space Center since it was founded in 1962-1963 and regularly watching launch events since the first launch of the Apollo 4 Mission in 1967.

We’re delighted that Ira Bell was invited by NASA and SpaceX to observe this rare occurrence, and we can’t wait to share more about it!
